LFS option is incompatible with custom hooks.

[rickvanprim]

In a persistent action runner where the repo isn't recreated every time, if custom hooks are used, the checkout action with lfs: true fails because git lfs install --local errors due to not wanting to overwrite the custom hooks.

Possible fixes that come to mind are an option to skip git lfs install or having the option to not install hooks via running git lfs install --local --manual instead.

Hey James,

sorry for the ot, but how can you make the runner persistent in order to not re-clone the repo every single time?

Thanks in advance

Hey Giuseppe,

I'm not sure what you're asking? This is with self hosted runners and persistent repositories. If memory serves, git lfs install --local is run every time prior to checkout.

Having the same error (on self-hosted runner).
As soon checkout job is executed the second time it will fail because of this.

I have the same problem with lfs:true option and self-hosted runnder.
